GRIDSERVE and Moto unveil extensive charging upgrades at Moto’s Rugby site

The Electric Super Hub at Moto Rugby has been upgraded to provide 24 GRIDSERVE High Power

charging bays, doubling the number available at the busy site on the M6. The new High Power

charging bays become the latest addition to Moto and GRIDSERVE’s nationwide effort to transform

access to charging facilities and prevent charging anxiety for EV motorists.

The Electric Super Hub at Moto Rugby is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and the chargers

are powered by 100% net zero carbon energy including power sleeved from the company’s

pioneering hybrid solar and battery farms.

The upgraded site has CCS connectors, accepts contactless payment and provides real-time status

updates to a myriad of popular EV charging maps. With the new upgraded chargers, Moto Rugby is

now available on the GRIDSERVE charging app, where users can find, navigate and pay for

charging in one place.

18 months ago, Zap-Map revealed the Electric Super Hub at Moto Rugby as England’s most popular

public charging location.

Moto’s sites have the potential for further expansion, as needed in the coming months and years to

grow in line with EV ownership and demand. At Moto Rugby, a further 12 GRIDSERVE high power

charging bays will be added before the end of the year.

Moto Hospitality’s Chief Executive, Ken McMeikan, said: “The expansion of High Power charging

bays at our flagship Rugby site will provide a significant boost for EV drivers travelling on the M6 by

helping to reduce range anxiety.”

“It demonstrates our continued commitment to revolutionising the EV charging experience for EV

drivers on the UK’s motorway network through increased capacity, reliability, simplicity and speed.”

Roy Williamson, Interim CEO and Executive Chairman, said: “Moto Rugby is a hugely popular site

so we are thrilled to upgrade the location to an impressive 24 High Power charging bays.

GRIDSERVE are committed to delivering reliable and easy to use EV charging across the UK. We

are constantly learning and making improvements to our sites. We look forward to welcoming drivers

to the new and improved Moto Rugby Electric Super Hub.”

Moto now has 401 GRIDSERVE charging bays across 42 sites in the UK. GRIDSERVE’s Electric

Highway now has over 195 locations with over 1,500 charging bays. The Electric Highway consists

of Electric Super Hubs which can be mostly found at Motorway Service Areas, Electric Retails Hubs

at locations such as Dobbies and Electric Forecourts®.
